Judge Tosses Lawsuit On Houston Hospital Vaccine Mandate

A federal judge tossed out a lawsuit against Houston Methodist Hospital over its vaccine requirement for employees, saying the hospital has a right to require employees to be vaccinated. The hospital employees, who were plaintiffs in this case, say they plan to appeal, but in the meantime, both private and public employers can continue to require vaccinations. There could be more legal challenges ahead regarding Governor Abbott’s ban on vaccine passports and employers requiring proof of vaccination.
